About the adventure
Five years into an armistice that ended a decade of warfare, the threat of renewed conflict looms over the continent of Althas. Five nations in a delicate web of alliances and rivalries seek to exploit the opportunities granted by this period of rapid magical, political, and social change. All five nations deploy agents to strengthen alliances, sabotage foes, and tip the balance of power in their favor. In a Five Banners Burning campaign, you’ll play heroes caught up in the twisting and ever-escalating conflict between nations, contending with competing loyalties, generational grudges, and opportunistic villains.

How Mason creates a safe table
We will be using an X N O card system. But we will also agree as a group what is and isn't acceptable and a need/wish section in our session zero. There will be no "isms" at the table. If any form of bigotry or even disrespect is shown towards me or your fellow players, you will be removed from the game.
